Haven't cleaned my navi screen in 4 years and need to!

Hey guys I have a 2012 f10 with navi and have always been scared to clean the screen. I usually just blow whatever loose dust is on it off. Its got smears and other things and needs a cleaning. What do you guys use to clean the screen? Just seen a video for a product called inner clean by chemical guys. In the video they use an LCI F10 and he sprays the product onto a microfiber towel and cleans the screen. Do pre-LCI models have same coating as LCI models? Product seemed to work in the video. Please help! Any other suggestions to cleaning products for the screen are welcome

I use a microfiber with a little bit of water and wipe. Haven't noticed any scratches but I was a little nervous too because of how others have said it's so easy to scratch.

A microfiber towel dampened with regular tap water really should do the trick. Then dry it with another microfiber towel.

Defo microfibre cloth. I have only done it once usually when my car goes in for winter wheels change or mot I let them do it part of their wash and clean. I'm too scared to damage the screen.
